"They will be humanely moved and carefully taken by truck to their new home, a four-hour-drive away‚" NFA said in a statement. "They have to be moved as a family for their psychological well-being."

The Darlington land is a remote wilderness area north of the main park and located away from poaching areas. The area has plenty of vegetation and water, and the family will be able to safely breed there.

SANParks and NFA will have rangers‚ wildlife veterinarians and helicopters will help with the logistics.
